October 31, 2008 - The wildly successful Mega Man 9 has become the coolest kid on the retro-gaming block, and, true to its pedigree, it has a great soundtrack; the original six Mega Man titles for the NES had some of the bossest 8-bit tunes in all of... well, 8-bitdom. The aural horsepower developer Capcom managed to extract from that little sucker year in and year out was one of the series' strongest suits. Kids and teens spent the late 80s and early 90s flocking to rental outlets not only to check out the eight Robot Masters of each new installment, but also the eight criminally catchy tracks that would haunt them to their very beds, schooldesks, and baseball diamonds.

July 1, 2008 - Recently, Capcom revealed the impending launch of Mega Man 9, the next proper installment of the original Mega Man series. Mega Man has enjoyed no shortage of adventures since the American release of Mega Man 8 in 1997 on the Saturn and PlayStation (although, many would count Mega Man & Bass on the GBA in 2003), but Mega Man 9 will pit the Blue Bomber against a brand new crew of robot masters just like the classic games. According to early reports, Mega Man will square off against such monsters as Galaxy Man and Concrete Man. We can hardly wait to get our 8-bit on with Mega Man 9.
